Russian Ambassador to Iran Levan Jagarian said that Moscow is not holding any talks with Tehran, on the withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syrian territory, since the Syrian government is the only authorized to do so.

According to Interfax, the ambassador added that "how can we discuss this? Only the government of Bashar al-Assad can talk about this issue, and it is the Syrian government that has to solve it, not us."

The Russian ambassador refuted allegations, made by Israeli and Western media, about the emergence of tension between Moscow and Tehran, following Russia's attempt, to persuade Iran to withdraw its forces from Syria.

He said, "I will disappoint those who claim tension in the relations between Russia and Iran, as there is no tension between the two countries."

The Russian ambassador stressed that his country is not to allow the occurrence of an armed clash, between the Israeli entity and Iran, inside Syria. He pointed out that Moscow is making maximum efforts to prevent any clash between the two sides within Syrian territory.
